Ranveer Singh’s and Sara Ali Khan’s Simmba released today and has been gaining positive reviews from the critics as well as the audience alike. Directed by Rohit Shetty the film is the quintessential masala potboiler and is the first time the director and Ranveer have collaborated. In a recent media interaction, Ranveer and Rohit spoke about how the film has appealed to Ranveer’s wife Deepika Padukone who has previously worked with Shetty in Chennai Express and also accepted the fact that it is a commercial entertainer throughout.
Speaking about Simmba Rohit accepted the fact that it is extremely difficult to predict the box office outcome of the film, and said that Simmba is his first women-oriented action film. He added, “It is the audience who decides whether they want to watch a film or not based on the trailer or promo. Awareness is definitely created through the songs. On Friday, we will get to know about the fate of the film. The film makes you happy and cry. I am not saying it is Mughal-e-Azam. But it does give you a high. You will clap, cry and you will get that emotional jolt.”
Speaking about Deepika’s reaction, Ranveer said, “The film is truly a big screen experience. We both watched the film together. Deepika showered praise on Rohit sir; I was waiting for her to talk about me. She is very proud of me and Rohit sir.” Rohit added, “Deepika was very thrilled and happy with the film.”
On the other hand, Sara who attended the special screening of the film with her brother Ibrahim Ali Khan and mother Amrita Singh said, “My mom and brother came to see the film and they both are different people, but they both laughed, cried and enjoyed the film. I am very excited and it is going to be killer. I have seen the film and I am sure the film is going to get good response.”
Looks like Simmba will bring a good ending to the year for everyone.
